Its not a Religious Statement, Its a Cultural Statement!!!

Clashes over a holi colors splashed on the wall of a mosque. The color should not have been splashed on the walls, and also the retort should not have been throwing stones on a locality. I think we can be a bit more accomodative….or may be not, its India after all.

Two persons were killed and at least 14 others, including half a dozen policemen, injured on Wednesday as police opened fire to disperse members of two communities who clashed in Varanasi during Holi celebrations.

SSP Varanasi P C Meena said police opened fire to quell violence that broke out during Holi celebrations near Gausiya Masjid in Bajardiha locality under the Bhelupur police station in Varanasi.

Those killed have been identified as Shafikur and Md Moin of Bajardiha area. Their bodies have been sent for postmortem.

“Trouble started after some Muslim youth saw a splash of colour on the wall of the Gausia mosque and they pelted stones on a nearby Hindu locality. Police immediately swung into action and surrounded the area and fired teargas to control the situation,” Meena said.

By shooting an eight year old kid for pouring color on him, this mad man (fisherman with a gun??? Sounds a bit suspicious too) took humanity to ridiculous depths. I will not be surprised if we have people defending Mohammad Rashid saying that the kid was trying to impose her religion on him in the pretext of holi with the help of the “saffron brigade”.

Long live india and its “secularism”.

Shahdol (MP): An eight-year-old girl was on Wednesday shot at and injured by a person allegedly peeved over her for pouring colour over him on the occasion of Holi at Parmaniya Khurd village here, police said.

Shelly Gupta suffered bullet injuries in both her legs when a fisherman, Mohammad Rashid of Singpur village, opened fire with his gun at a group of children celebrating Holi as they had supposedly sprayed him with colours, Kotwali Police Station In-charge Vijay Pratap Singh told PTI.

She was admitted to the Shahdol District Hospital for treatment where her condition was stated to be out of danger,he said.

Hearing gunshots, the villagers gathered and beat up Rashid and later handed him over to police, Singh said.

About

A peek into a land called India.

A land where we have minorities as those people who are similar in almost everything to the majority, except for the way they pray to god. Still we are looking at reservations for them. A country where the “lower caste” is given reservations to liberate them from the oppression, and the one who benefit from the reservations are the politicians and the “lower caste” people who are already liberated and flush with money. A country where women are revered in temples, while being oppressed immediately outside the steps of the temple. A country where people watch the full coverage of the swearing in ceremony of the US president, while they probably don’t know who our president is and for sure dot know who our vice president is.

A country inspite of all its problems is on the verge of becoming a global power. (So they say)
